The Formula1 in India

[harpoon]

Congrats again. First F1 in the sub-continent truly is historic. Had a good time pass though.

So if its a success then it belongs to the Sub-Continent,South Asia, SAARC, Third World etc etc but if its a fail then India and India alone should shoulder the shame.

Not so long ago when CWG Delhi was a mess (which was also a success in the end) Pakistanis along with their Chinese friends in this forum were quick to take jabs at India's inefficiency.Why then during that time did any Pakistani say that 'Give India a break, its their first time hosting such a big event and its a big event for not only India but the entire sub continent."

Off-course its India's success and I was all so obvious in what i meant when i said "sub continent" but some of you folks are just over the top. What inferiority complex is can be seen here. These kind of posts also show how some of you simply hate your western neighbor as you cant even tolerate a lighter tone! Where on earth did i try to steal the light from your show? Shove your event with cold water.

Enough said!

Indian private sector is second to none when it comes to efficiency. The CWG games should have been taken care by Private players and India should have spared the initial embarrassment.

Indian F1 Grand Prix Champion Sebastian Vettel falls in love with 'Incredible India'

GREATER NOIDA: Formula One World Champion Sebastian Vettel says his win in the inaugural Indian Grand Prix was the one of the best in his career and he will take back a lot from the country which has inspired him immensely.

Vettel secured his second world title in Japan three weeks ago and Sunday won his 11th race of the season.

The German, who has not put a foot wrong this season, is floored by everything concerned with India.

He rates the Buddh International Circuit as one of the best on the F1 calendar, loves the people who according to him are poor but happy and can't wait to come back next year.

"Coming to India has been an inspiration. A great learning experience," said a humble Vettel.

"I haven't spent a lot of time here but it was very inspiring when I had a bit of time to spend in the country. I went to see the Taj Mahal which is obviously a touristy thing to do but driving there by car, and not falling asleep because the roads were pretty... it was a good adventure, let's say," he said.

"All in all, it was great to be here, a great circuit, which obviously - speaking about our job, about racing, that's what we judge most, the circuit is fantastic to drive. I was surprised that the race went by pretty quickly. I was always trying to keep the gap to him (Button), trying to push but my engineer came on the radio and said 'twelve laps to go' and I was surprised because I thought, bloody hell, that went by quickly. It is a good sign, because you enjoy the circuit and it is a good sign for the future."

"It is great what people did here in a short amount of time. We heard about it (circuit) a couple of years ago but to put up this arena is incredible. Its not 100 per cent finished but I am sure they will fix it next year. I am very proud to be the first winner here in India. It is a very impressive country."

If CWG was given to private company than how congress had done the corruption.

Weren't you the one who pointed out "Poor People"? Well, if you didn't know this: the entire event is owned and funded by a private company and has nothing to do with the poor in India. In fact, if a company can take such a huge risk it only means there are people who can afford it.


India is a great place to do business and sports is one form of it. I'm afraid you don't follow F1 neither have you read about the BIC but wanted to drop in your "wise words". Its time for you to realize that you were either trolling or being Jealous and hence very very insecure!
